Cleanliness is next to?
Part of the New Years Day ritual is taking down the Christmas tree and all the decorations. Since we put everything up the Saturday after Thanksgiving it's been a long holiday season and I'm ready to see it go back into storage! Of course once everything is down it's time to CLEAN! The bright sunshine really exposed all the cleaning that has been neglected since Thanksgiving. I don't clean during the holidays - with all the candles it can hide a lot. So, that's what we all did yesterday, dust, sweep, vacuum, laundry, wiping down everthing (gotta love the Magic Eraser) and organized drawers, cupboards, etc. And now...everything is sparkling - even the moldy shower - and organized for 2008. It's a good start to what promises to be a fabulous year. But my clean house exposes all the stuff I still need to do. So I've made a little list of 5 things I will try to conquer in the coming months - I figure if I write it down I HAVE to do it! 1 - Update the photo frames in the house 2 - File the Pile (financial, school, misc) 3 - Clean the garden for Spring planting 4 - Paint our Bedroom 5 - Go thru girls clothes and toys they've outgrown Here's to a great 2008! 3 comments from 3 users

Uggh! Taking down the holiday decorations is on my agenda today. I'm like you in that I put my decorations up right after Thanksgiving. I take them down on the day after New Years. By January 2nd I am more-than-ready to get rid of the clutter and get organized for the new year. So off I go.....this is definitely an all day affair. Wishing everyone the best in the new year.

We put our Chistmas stuff away yesterday too. But it seem like the only time my house will stay clean after a thourough cleaning is when everyone is either out of the house or sleeping. It's like running on a treadmill - you exert a lot of energy, but never really get anywhere. Oh well. I'll enjoy my clean house at 3:00AM by myself! posted by

WOW! That's an ambitious list! I hope you're generous with the time-line. Painting takes much more time and money than people usually plan for. Or I should say, prepping to paint takes more time than people plan for. Give yourself one day to move furniture and tape and prep and a day to paint. Use a base coat (it will save you work in the long run). Also use an edging tool for those hard-to-reach places. Great list! Sounds like you're off to a good start.
